Sugar tax surprise in Budget - but growth forecasts cut

Chancellor George Osborne has unveiled a tax on the makers of sugary soft drinks to tackle childhood obesity.

He revised down the UK's growth forecast in his eighth Budget and sparked controversy by warning of the risks to the UK economy of EU exit.

He said the UK was "well placed" to handle a "dangerous cocktail" of global economic risks if "we act now so we don't have to pay later".

Labour said it was a Budget with "unfairness at its very core".
